It's not me. It's you.

An Observation. (#3)

By and large, women who read on the subway are reading erotica.
Has anyone else ever noticed this? Society calls (most of) these "romance novels" and its a huge publishing industry.
To prove this theory, I have made it a habit to read over the shoulder of any woman who looks really deeply engrossed in her book. So far, I have not made it past the second paragraph without seeing the word "throbbing" at least once.
Perhaps similarly, the man next to me on the L train this evening was reading the pages on "Meat" straight from his huge edition of "Joy of Cooking."
